We Used to Be Friends by Amy Spalding

4.0

This book made me feel really sad about friendship and decisions and really any kind of human connection. I know that wasn't the intention. Both Kat and James were fine, but I didn't identify with either of them. Their disconnection seemed inevitable, but the fact that they also seemed disconnected with all their other friends was too much. During these quarantine times I want books about people feeling alone and finding connection, so probably this was just bad timing for me.

I will also say that I got all the The Last Five Years joke in the book (they were good! very nice!), but I didn't realize until the very end that the book itself was doing the one person moving forward in time, one person moving backward in time thing!
